His daughter Tryphena said her father was brought up by an uncle in Sturbridge, after his father's early death. At a young age he participated in the "Old French War" and then moved to Stillwater, NY. There he taught school and married Lydia Moore. Tryphena also said her great great grandfather Martin was from Wales, "according to Uncle Adam Martin".

From History of Fort Edward:
Moses Martin seems to have settled in Salem before the Revolution. He was a brother of Col. Adam Martin (Find A Grave Memorial# 33562601) of Stockbridge, MA, who came to Salem after the Revolution. Adam was assistant supervisor of Salem in 1782. Moses was an adjutant in Col. John Williams' Regiment of Militia of Charlotte County, and first lieutenant in Joseph McCracken's Charlotte County Company, of Col. Goose van
Schaick's Second Regiment New York Continentals, 1775, and as appears from the above, was the first clerk of the Board of Supervisors of Washington County in 1785, and also for the next year, 1786. He was justice of the peace in 1786, 1789, 1792, 1795 and 1818. Adam Martin was Member of Assembly in 1787 and justice of the peace for many years. He removed to Martinsburgh, Lewis, NY, and became prominent there. Moses Martin was a member of the Masonic Lodge at Fort Edward in 1787.

Wife's Note: Moses Martin's wife Lydia Moore's (1748-1822) burial is unknown. Their daughter Tryphena Martin is quoted in Asa Fitch's writings of the History of Washington County. She speaks of her father and family in the revolution. She said her mother's father was Ephraim More/Moore from Simsbury, CT.
